About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overshadowed by their siblings or expresses that they are the plain one in a family of superstars. It is a sensitive exploration of middle-child syndrome and the struggle to define oneself outside of family expectations. Through 13-year-old Kelsey, the story addresses feelings of invisibility, the sting of comparison, and the realization that personal worth is not a competition. Middle schoolers will find deep resonance in Kelsey's journey from feeling like a lump to discovering her own spark. It is an ideal choice for validating the complex, often messy emotions of adolescence and fostering a sense of individual identity.
